This year, the Hachioji fireworks festival will be held in Fujimori Park 1 week earlier (Saturday July 22nd) than the previous years as not to collide with the National City Ryokka Hachijouji Fair celebrating its 100th year anniversary.
You can view the fireworks from Daiwa House stadium. Come and experience fireworks on a whole different level in Tokyo, Japan!

The Ryogoku fireworks festival started in 1733 and is the oldest fireworks festival in Japan. The festival has two venues. The first venue will have a fireworks competition and the second venue will launch about 22,000 fireworks! Every year about 950, 000 people attend this popular festival. One of the best places to go to get a good view is the famous landmark, Sky Tree.

Tokyo Taitou Ward・Sumida River Fireworks Festival

Date and Time：Sat.July 29th 20177:05PM～8:30PM※If the festival is cancelled due to bad weather, it will be held on Sunday July 30th and cancelled completely if both days have bad weather.

This festival started out in 1985 and this year’s festival will be its 33rd time! It is also the biggest festival in Japan with a grand opening of 1000 fireworks within 5 seconds! You will be amazed in awe from start to finish. This is definitely one of my favorite fireworks festivals in Japan.

With a history of more than 30 years, Choufu’s fireworks festival collaborates with music to create｢Fireworks illusion｣with the beautiful Tama river as its background. If you’re interested in this festival, definitely buy your tickets in advance as they do sell-out every year!
